Former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Danny Amendola plans to sign a one-year, $4.5 million contract with the Detroit Lions, a source told ESPN's Dianna Russini on Monday.
The signing, which is pending a physical, could be worth up to $5.75 million, the source said. It also will reunite Amendola with general manager Bob Quinn and coach Matt Patricia from their time with the New England Patriots.
The Lions are in need of a slot receiver after trading Golden Tate to the Philadelphia Eagles at the trade deadline last year.
